We performed a comparison between IBM BPM and NGINX Plus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."IBM BPM and Automation Anywhere working together automate manual tasks with a reduction in FTEs, creating about a 30% reduction in FTEs by automating processes."
"It is a very powerful solution."
"The integration and design are valuable features."
"It helps maintain, and in many instances, lower costs, as well as to maintain those costs, keeping them stable."
"It excels at analytics. It provides visibility across all activities of a company's processes and performance."
"IBM BPM is both scalable and stable."
"It provides a very robust environment to build an integration framework or workflow patterns that we have. A lot of changes or modifications have been made to this solution over the past few years. The features that they have added this time have helped developers like us to work on the developmental environment and leverage all the capabilities of the tool. This is what I like about this solution."
"We can scale by increasing the infrastructure which is currently running."
"Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing."
"Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy."
"When you use NGINX, you have more options and power."
"I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free."
"NGINX works much better than HAProxy in our current hardware and architecture for HTTP/HTTPS load balancing. "
"Nginx is extremely efficient in terms of the connection rate to the CPU cycles ratio, and in terms of the bandwidth to CPU cycles."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is simple to configure."
"The robust software architecture allows for it to be scalable and very stable."
"There is a lot of room for improvement of the dashboards."
"From the testing perspective and minor enhancements perspective, customization is something that is a little tedious as compared to new tools. In addition, various open-source tools that are available are not working with IBM BPM."
"When you have to integrate files for enterprise applications."
"IBM BPM's price could be improved."
"I would like to see the solution be able to interact with other customer software solutions."
"It is a rather thick stack because you have to have WebSphere skills, IBM BPM skills, and an understanding of how the product runs on WebSphere. A lot of this will start to get a lot easier as they put it in containers, which will allow the platform to manage itself in some regards."
"IBM BPM needs to have a better and modified interface."
"The people working on the front desk are having some problem with managing the documentation. For instance, they get a picture, and if the picture comes rotated 90 degrees, together with a picture that is not rotated, they have some problems dealing with that, technically. There are some minor aspects that on the usability side that are still lacking. That has to do with FileNet, too, I'm talking about the suite together."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"The scaling should be built into the software rather than configured from an outside source."
"The scalability could be improved."
"The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Only improvement needed that I would point to is scalability. With it, I mean clusterized organisation on a low level. At the moment, the best alternative is RHEL HA."
"The center management system could be improved."
